“Let’s give credit where it’s due… the 70% of Americans who didn’t get a flu shot this season.” Amanda Ross, Editor, Nutrition & Healing (www.healthiernews.com)
The flu shot is dangerous: 203 deaths, 797 life-threatening events, 260 permanent disabilities, 2,980 hospitalizations, 405 prolonged hospitalizations IN ONE YEAR (2007) http://tinyurl.com/6ske4x
It is unbelievable how far the government will go to control our lives. It is like that novel 1984! We need to really kick it up a notch as a society and stand against these mandatory vaccines. We should have the right to say what goes in our bodies and our children's bodies....to think that the government is going to decide this is absolutely surreal. They must be stopped!!

whatever happened to "land of the free" ? Reading this makes me very happy I live in the middle east where I can still choose not to vaccinate my child before I put them in school.....

I am so proud of Louise, Claudine and Barbara for keeping this issue in the forefront of media. Great job ladies.
Call me Pollyana again... but frontline CNN coverage on this issue? I am hopeful and also optimistic we will see these mandates fall. Unless the rename the United States to some other communist country?

Does NJ take the necessary steps to make sure that all these mandated flu shots are Thimerosal free?
Used to be that of the three manufacturers of flu shots for children, only one of them manufactured a Thimerosal-free version.
